Gasoline

The “Gasoline” remix marks the returning of a favor, or reversal of a spotlight, since HAIM made a featured appearance on Taylor’s “evermore” album in December. With HAIM taking on backing vocals, that number, “no body, no crime,” was a light-hearted murder ballad that harked back to Taylor’s country days and had a main character, Este, named after one of the Haim sisters.

BACKGROUND AND RELEASE
The three sisters teased fans with a potential team-up with Taylor earlier in the week, before eagle-eyed fans spotted she was credited on a new version of the track “Gasoline” on a page on ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), a service songwriters use to register their material for royalty payments. Regarding the remix with Taylor, the sisters wrote on their Instagram:

“Since we released ‘Women In Music Part. III’ in June, Taylor had always told us that ‘Gasoline’ was her favorite. So when we were thinking about ways to reimagine some of the tracks from the record, we immediately thought of her. She brought such amazing ideas and new imagery to the song and truly gave it a new life. Thank you Taylor, for adding your incredible voice and spirit to a track that means so much to us.” — HAIM

Taylor and HAIM first hooked up when Taylor invited the sisters to open 17 dates on her “1989 World Tour” in 2015.
